Rifftrax Presents - Sherlock Holmes w/Matthew J Elliott

http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax-presents/sherlock-holmes
The English—inventors of the internet and the language you're reading right now. But what have they ever done for us?

Well, stretching a point, there's the famous English detective Sherlock Holmes (who was created by a Scotsman, but what the hell). Holmes has been depicted onscreen more times than any other fictional character, with the possible exception of the Wilhelm Scream Guy. For a hundred years, filmmakers have taken a reverential approach to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved creation. Welcome to the 21st Century.

Join Sherlockian Film Expert* Matthew J Elliott as he guides you through Guy Richie's epic
without the aid of a magnifying glass. This commentary is also available in 2-D for those who get a headache wearing the special glasses.

*Yes, really. Who knew there was such a thing? Or that "Sherlockian" was a word?

Hes doing a British accent you idiots...

[RiffTrax]

@timothy790110 Actually, Matthew is British.

[RiffTrax]

@timothy790110 Sorry, just realized you're probably talking about Robert Downey Jr., and not Matthew (the guy making the jokes). Please pardon our brain fart.

[FanFicGirl721]

Lol. Brilliant, any more???

[RiffTrax]

@FanFicGirl721 Matthew has other riffs on our site. He's also done Die Hard and House of Wax!

So, wait, the Rifftrax guys are still there, right, but the English person is just filling in for them? Or something?

[RiffTrax]

@BellaCullen325 This is a "RiffTrax Presents" meaning Matthew Elliott is sort of a "partner" of ours who does his own riffs that are sold on our site. That's what the "Presents" label is for - to let people know there is a slight difference!

[Sharagran]

I'm willing to bet that if these lines were spoken by the usual crew, nobody would complain.

[korrde]

Compared to the majority of amateur riffers this guy is shoulders above them.

[SickBritKid]

You guys oughta do your own Riff down the line.

[CyricZ]

Just listened to the whole thing. Very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

[tedirelan]

Matthew. Mr. Elliott bravo chap. Bravo.

[BellaCullen325]

@RiffTrax Oh, I had some ideas for Die Hard and now I have to accept you've already done it!

[2wingo]

Also, the censoring beep over "You really know your shit" fails. He clearly finishes saying it before the beep comes.

[2wingo]

The only real problem with this particular riff is that it doesn't feel complete. There should always been at least two riffers, because with just one he doesn't have anyone to play off of.

@RiffTrax But brain farts make for great jokes later on...

[timothy790110]

@RiffTrax Well he has a terrible american accent!
